    When you say mafia you mean gangster use to love films like Godfather, scarface, casino, my favourite Goodfellas and to some extent Heat.

    Layer cake is a good movie as is Score with Dr Miro.

    Never watched Sopranos or Narco.

    Well, gangster is a more encompassing genre, and can include all sorts of tough guy gangs. I actually mean Italian Mafia, which I like more.

    As far as movies go, I also like Bronx Tale. Although it's more the tough guy gang type movie, it has all the actors I like.

    Bronx Tale is a great movie and made me think that stereotyping Italians as gangsters who are criminals is not a good thing. A real man is someone who works hard, looks after his family and loved ones, stays within the law and maintains his good name.

    Yeah, the movie did a great job with that. It also portrayed the real division and animosity between groups like the Italians and the blacks in NYC back in those times. We never lived that, so it's nice to see a movie that shows how it used to be.

    Old school: Paul Muni, George Raft, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and the absolute A#1 Edward G. Robinson....Robet DeNiro wishes he was Robinson!

    A couple of shouts to Charles Dierkop, William Forsyth, Tony Sirico, James Gandolfini, Joe Mantegna, Richard Castellano, James Caan, Marlon Brando, Ray Liotta, and Steve Schirippa.

    I think Gabriel Byrne and Albert Finney did great in Miller's Crossing which is underrated.

    Liotta played his character brilliantly in Goodfellas. He starts laughing hysterically at inappropriate moments, genius.

    Millers Crossing was excellent - great soundtrack too.

    Bronx Tale one of my all time favourites. Still one of the best sick days I ever pulled from work - rented two films from Blockbuster . Bronx Tale and Carlitos Way. What a day.

    Vincent Pastore sprung to mind when seeing thread title. Pesci. De Niro and Steve Van Zandt I suppose.

    Love gangster movies if done right.

    Not sure what his birth certificate says but Christopher Walken gets honorable mention for King of New York . In a single role Stephen Graham was superb as Al Capone in 'Boardwalk Empire'.

    James Caan. Now there's a guy who's done a few Mafia roles and bad guy roles in general. He's a natural.

    Excellent call, you went old school. Edward G Robinson was the king

    Old school gangster movies are GOLD.....the original Scarface with Paul Muni...so much better than Pacino's and whatever the fuck Diego Luna is coming out with

    Cagney, Robinson, Bogey, they all seemed like actual tough guys not some fancy pants acting school dandy.....granted Robinson was so not used to guns that he blinked every time he shot his pistol lol. But his manner of speech, his actions......the same goes for Bela Lugosi as Dracula, the dude embodied the character and so every character since then has been playing the ACTOR of the role rather than just the role itself that's how honest their performances were.


    And George Raft.....what a cool customer that dude was!
